SotU: Sixteen Lies In Seven Minutes
The following link with video is pretty much self-explanatory. Just be prepared to hit the pause button after each lie to let it sink in:

A tremendous hat tip to Naked Emperor News for an incredible research effort in assembling this article. Also, a special thanks to the modern miracle of technology and Mr. Obama’s propensity for being in the spotlight!
A First Year Comparison Or A First Year Contrast?
The following is an article by my friend Allen Scott from eagleviews.org, putting into perspective the state of our union today and the President’s first State Of The Union speech addressing these issues we face as a nation:

Now that you have read all the way through, or if you were more inclined to just ‘wait for it to come out on video’, here is the link to the speech on Youtube:

Now, wouldn’t you say that this is more of a contrast in where we were as opposed to where we currently are as a nation? On the one hand you have a President that spends way more time announcing his agenda to get this country out of the mess he inherited while spending very little time placing blame on the previous administration.
On the other hand, we have a President that blames everyone (including the Supreme Court!) and has nothing to offer but more spending of what we don’t have in order to ‘fix things’.
Hmmm…let’s see: The economy is in the tank, so the president raises spending, increases the size of government, raises taxes and voila! the economy goes further into the tank! So, the next President lowers spending, cuts taxes and cuts the size of government and voila! the economy enjoys some of the best prosperous years in the nation’s history! So, since we are currently ’spending our way out of debt’, raising taxes on the wealthy and increasing the size of government, what do you suppose the outcome will be, based on history?
I don’t know about you, but we need another Reagan to ‘bail out’ our nation before it is no longer ‘too big to fail’!
Axelrod Not Surprised by Alito Gesture at State of the Union
The following link is to an article addressing Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s ‘reaction’ to something president Obama said during his State Of The Union address:
Okay, let me get this straight: Mr. Axelrod says the “”in this weird political season, we have become accustomed to unusual outbursts”…and then compares Justice Alitos’ making “a dismissive face, shook his head repeatedly and appeared to mouth the words “not true” or possibly “simply not true” when Obama criticized the high court over a campaign finance ruling.” with Joe Wilson’s verbal “you lie” outburst.
So, if you have become accustomed to these ‘outbursts’ why the ‘outburst’? And, what is meant by ‘weird political season’?
What a bunch of crybabies!!
